DragonVale Day 3!

Today we have the Blizzard Dragon!

“The lost Ice Kings were believed to be responsible for unsavory weather at the top of the Berrywhite Mountains. Turns out it was just Blizzard Dragons coughing and sneezing. Their colds have been cured and they are no longer contagious, so feel free to breed some and put them next to the other dragons in your park.”

(Note: I love how derpy these guys look XD)

(My Blizzard Dragon’s name is Blitzen.)

Blizzard dragons were a species of catastrophic dragon that were infused with para-elemental ice.

The species were classically draconic in form (four legs and two wings and a head on a long neck) and, like other species of dragons, grew larger as they aged.

These dragons emitted an aura of freezing cold wind. Their mere presence caused surrounding air to chill and the ground to ice over. As they grew older, blizzard dragons learned to expand this aura at will, making the torrents of wind more violent and unbearably cold, slowing down their enemies and blinding them with snow. And if they were ever hit by an some magic or ability rooted in elemental cold, their aura would unleash a flurry to send the attacker flying back.

Their jaws and claws were painfully cold to the touch. A bite from them could temporarily freeze a creature in place and a swipe of their claws could send creatures sliding backwards.

Finally, blizzard dragons could unleash a torrent of ice when injured, with those of an ancient age capable of severely immobilizing their attackers.

Blizzard dragons typically spoke the Common, Draconic, and Primordial languages.

Blizzard dragons harbored enmity towards all deities, but their greatest animosity was towards the Raven Queen and her servants. They would display anger towards anyone that invoked her or bore her holy symbol.

Blizzard dragons typically allied themselves with beasts of cold environs, such as winter wolves, and creatures of elemental ice like frost giants, frost titans, and ice archons. They were also willing to ally with others that had destructive and tyrannical ambitions, such as the winter fey or even a lich, if their goals aligned. They never hesitated to work alongside others of their kind or even other species of catastrophic dragons. Groups of blizzard dragons sometimes banded together under a dragon or some humanoid if doing so would either enact what they perceived as vengeance upon the gods, free Primordials from their imprisonment, or unleash dragons even more powerful than themselves.

Following Io's death at the hands of Erek-Hus during the Dawn War, a number of dragons became rebellious and discouraged. Viewing his successors Bahamut and Tiamat as weak and selfish, they instead turned to the Primordials for power.

It was a Primordial known as Umboras, the Lord of Rimefire, who attracted them as he sought out creatures that could help carry out his vengeance upon the Raven Queen. He ferried them away to the deepest, cold reaches of the Elemental Chaos. There their bodies were entombed by the ice and Umboras spent an entire year working his foul magic, eventually transforming them into blizzard dragons. As part of his forces the blizzard dragons transported the primordial's various frost titans and ice archons to the Raven Queen's realm. The goddess fled his forces and they chased her to the plane of Pandemonium, not suspecting that they were being lured into a trap. In the labyrinthine tunnels of that plane the Raven Queen managed to separate Umboras from his forces and trapped him within an empty vault.

With their master gone the blizzard dragons dispersed across the multiverse. Some stayed within the plane of Pandemonium, others returned to the Elemental Chaos, and a few managed to find their way to the coldest reaches of worlds on the Prime Material.

did you have a favorite dragon in dragon city? mine was blizzard dragon but now i see how ugly it is, but still kinda cute

[briarruler]

True.

Of the Black Magic spells Shadowus seems to be the most effective. Windus also works but doesn't do as much damage. Extractus is only good if you need the healing and Groundus doesn't work.

Fun Fact: The Blizzard Dragon only casts reflect if you use the Flare/a/us Black Magic spell on it. If you use another spell, it doesn't cast reflect. That's how it is for me at least (it's like this for my brother as well). Don't use water though.

boy, but i do love watching companies burn because of their own greed, callousness, disassociation from reality, and short-sighted decisions. It's delicious.

Spyro Year of the Dragon - Happy 24th Anniversary! by Mast3r-Rainb0w

Happy 24th Anniversary to Spyro: Year of the Dragon (a.k.a. Spyro 3), which released back in 2000, and ever so fittingly on the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Dragon! Here's some fanart of gaming's greatest purple dragon riding his radical skateboard with a traditional Chinese-theme for the background! Enjoy!

This is M1: Blizzard Pass (1983). It is a novelty solo adventure for…it just occurs to me that I have no idea what the M stands for. I had just assumed it was for the Master Rules (something reinforced by the fact that the M-series in 1986 was for the Master rules, after which point this and Maze of the Riddling Minotaur were referred to as MSOLOs), but they are still a couple years off. M for Magic? M for Maze? I dunno.

Anyway, that little missing piece of the cover used to have a little black square of velcro on it that was used to attach a magic marker pen (M for Marker?), used to reveal the passages in the book that were printed in “invisible ink.” Pens fell out of the shrinkwrap, or were stolen. They ran out of ink. I don’t have a pen. Apparently, the printed ink stops responding to the marker after a period of time anyway, so I probably wouldn’t be able to play even if I did have a pen. I wouldn’t, though. This is an asinine gimmick.

So yea, there you go. Tim Truman’s cover is excellent, at least. There interiors are uncredited, but I at least recognize some OK Jim Holloways.
